I have used this procedure recently (with 10_BETA), and it worked flawlessly.

Technically, you can also stop after the kernel upgrade, continue
using a 9.x userland, and use binary packages compiled for NetBSD-9.
The kernel must be the same version or newer than the userland, but
nothing says they need to be exact matches.

I did that for a while on a Pinebook Pro, to avoid having to build my
own packages.
